Sportfriends Delayed For ‘More Weeks’ Of Additional Refinement
If you’ve been waiting to put your PlayStation Move controllers back into action, you’ll have to sit tight for another few weeks. Die Gute Fabrik has announced that it is delaying the four-game Sportsfriends bundle for “some more weeks.”
Die Gute Fabrik assures that it's still on-budget. "We're still working hard — and getting very close — but unfortunately we're going to need some more weeks," the group reported to backers. Sportsfriends is targeted for release on PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. A beta on computer platforms will be released alongside the final PlayStation 3 version. The PlayStation 4 version will come later.
Sportsfriends was funded via Kickstarter, reaching its $150,000 goal in the very late stages of the campaign. It includes four games: Johann Sebastian Joust, Barabariball, Super Pole Riders, and Hokra. You can read our preview of all four here.

Our Take
A weeks-long delay isn’t a hard pill to swallow for a game coming to five platforms. The unanticipated PC, Mac, and Linux beta goes some way to ease the sting. I’ve heard great things about the compilation, and look forward to eventually giving it a try.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
